Brilliant thriller.
dineshkaliy8 April 2022
Wonderfully written and Executed. Has all the hallmark of being one of the best from Tamil in OTT.

Vimal was flawless, and so was Balasaravanan. Visuals were brilliant, particularly the opening scene where the station dynamics was shown. A very rooted story and no non sense story telling helps this series be one of the best.

Awesome series
kskexton19 February 2022
This webseries is full of twist and turn, made me to watch all episodes in full stretch... Director has well brought out the work life balance challenges of Police department. Vimal and Bala Saravanan acting are very casual and synced well with story. Ultimate hero to me is Krishna character, from saadhu to saadhu villan. Best acting in this movie.

Overall, good entertainment series..

Casual acting script throughout the episode
flyvenks18 February 2022
Good combination for thriller and entertainment, All cast performance good including few comedy artists. Casual acting script throughout the episode on director touch. Best Tamil entertainment series in 2022. Must Watchable for all.

Would totally recommend.
TreeFiddy5317 April 2022
This was my first (?) Tamil web series, had heard a lot about it over the past few weeks, finally got around do it.

A mystery drama usually is usually my go-to genre so I was a little hesitant but the show didn't disappoint. It's very grounded, nothing over-the-top, no unnecessary heroism/overacting no big names, no fancy slo-mo shots. This simply had a story shot and told in a way that it could seem as real as possible. Shoutout to the music team for REALLY GOOD sound-design.

Instead of a 7ep show, this would have made for a really good movie (as per the original plans) but even at a 4hr total runtime, it didn't feel like 4 hrs. A few scenes here and there did make me feel like "Bruh, why would write it that way?" but I don't know if that's just me and even if it is, a handful scenes in a 4hr show is something I can live with.

You should surely check it out if you like this genre.

Good try and left disappointed end.
arun887725 February 2022
The plot just deviated and end was so basic. If you watch the beginning and you will be edge of the seat to know what next and makes so curious, but sadly the end was not much. But from screenplay, music, cinematography, actor, and story was great. Hope the next series might be a good one.

A very good thriller series from Kollywood
cerelacholmes20 February 2022
I really hope Kollywood uses faded stars like Vemal to act in TV series and release it in OTT platforms. There are very few series in Kollywood that are known to many - As I am Suffering from Kaadhal and Irudhuruvangal were the only ones that I can remember. Even Triples and Live Telecast were average and was not Series worthy. This beats all that. Except for the excessive violence that overshadows the story and some beat around the bush scenes , it's a terrific thriller series from Kollywood.

he can be one next to you
Moviebuff_Chennai23 February 2022
It is a rare case to see crime series in Tamil. After November story, Vilangu is the next one to release in Tamil. There are dubbed ones but officially Tamil alone is rare of the rarest in crime series.

With less number of characters, the story is made very clearly and did not deviate anywhere. All the comedy and sentiment scenes were inside the plot and nothing was moving the story away.

Vemal did it as usual and particularly did not spoil the plot.

Iniya is dummy and roped in for namesake.

Bala Saravanan reduced his weight and did a great role in this series Muneeshkanth is dropped in middle and did not appear during the last 2 episodes at all.

Other characters including the Kicha character were neatly placed.

Absolutely the crime is revealed in middle but the pain of the police is shown as it is.

The lockup scenes and investigation scenes were frightening a lot and never ever get locked as an accused in Tamilnadu.....

Perfect slow burner
ranganathansuma6 March 2022
This series was unbelievably good. Brilliant writing and performance. The visuals and music were amazing too.

Vimal surpassed expectations. The casting and the mood were just right for such a thriller.

Too many holes
jdb2625 March 2022
While the series is watchable, there are too many holes in the story. On one hand the cops thrash people at will and on the other hand they willingly let an accused roam free. Total BS.

Super One except lead actor, lack of emotions
deeps-5392121 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I must tell that all actors were gud in this series and lead actor somehow failing in deal with emotional part, and iniya done a good job, a normal house wife and she nicely delivered it. Fabulous acting belongs to Kicha(Vilian's screen name).. I tried to find kicha' s real name in internet.. I couldn't find it all and nobody is telling about his superfuntabulous acting, such a natural unbelievable actor he is, wow.. Amazing... Outstanding perfomances by Balamurugan and Munishkanth, that also highly appreciable.

Surprise and suspense without horror
sregnanamani11 March 2022
A well seasoned screenplay. All actors lived as characters. One more on Vemels cap. Unexpected turnings and astonishing story development make this series a thriller movie. Keep it up!

Racy thriller with excellent screenplay
maruthuk-2147029 May 2022
Generally don't watch Web Series, but after having read its review in Vikatan, thought of giving it a try.

What started as an one episode plan, went onto complete 4 episodes at a stretch completing 4 episodes, because of its excellent screenplay and very different Background music.

Whoever (adult) would like to start watching Tamil Web-series, probably can start with this.

Acting of Vimal was too good and in some places he simply scores with his silence and facial reactions, same goes to Kiccha Ravi too, what a performance, out of the blue!

Very good supporting roles done by Bala Saravanan & Munishkanth too.

Reason for 8 stars is, till 4th episode, since there are plenty of twists and turns, it keeps audience guessing, however from 5th episode, screenplay loses its intensity and audience can easily guess, what's coming. Probably those two episodes could have been better done!

No Story line up
varshapc31 July 2023
No base story.....jst cooked up climax.... Starting 2 episodes are interesting......The cast is the best one. Mainly the actor performed really well. U can understand how the police station daily works and get an idea about it. Story is all around a village in Trichy.. Starting episode feels us to have an intersting climax but it really fails too...Once the main antagonist comes to the scenes, the films starts lagging..Not feeling for the motive of the villians revenge on killing people. Atleast they would have add some intention for murdering people. Waste on watching all episodes. Not happy.

Vilangu : Fantastic Mystery Crime thriller tamil series
Don_Bradman_IMDB13 April 2022
'Vilangu' makes for a gripping watch because it downplays its surprises intelligently, and doesn't fall back on flashy, unrealistic reveals that revolve around a hero cop. Worth watch series.

Good Thriller Series in Tamil
stephenalbright10 March 2022
Though the series was good and interesting and kept the audience engaging. There were many open ended questions at the end when the series got over.

Overall a good watch.

One of a kind
jsathish2926 February 2022
I always wondered while watching Korean crime movies,how could they neatly execute an realistic crime thriller with small budget and we cannot perfect it . Vilangu answered it right from start to end. I really enjoyed it. Hats of to the director,story writer,screen play,actors and producer. Next time trying this kind of project keep in mind what got you success and don't involve big stars and deviate story for some masala package ,keep it as neat as this. Pathetic to see good young directors wasted to compensate big stars image , letting down in storytelling in tamil cinema,Vijay with lokesh kanagaraj and Vinoth with Ajith Kumar sir ,both lost their path.

Satisfied thriller
nallaiah26 February 2022
An excellent come back for Vimal...an interesting thriller giving us a seat edge experience till the last episode of the series..i thought It was a movie initially and wasn't interested initially later it extended and satisfied every aspect of the scene.it is I think a low budget though it worked well and gave a clear pakka satisfaction.. Not only for Vimal also for the Bala Saravanan..though he is a comedian the role he played in this one is a feather added to his crown..it was more equal role similar to hero..the acting he made was really awesome and to be appreciated..this web series should be a drastic change in his career The twist were the highlights and even at the climax it worked well ..the screenplay was awesome and thrilled us with background score.

The killer wasn't expecting to found and when he was found we didn't expect him to be a killer..that too a serial killer.. This series well worked with this serial killer episodes and with usual caste references and the way the director made those were also good Overall - a good series in Tamil which can be better said to be one of the best thriller series and need much like of this better than big budget series.

Engaging Thriller
amogansundram-6791225 February 2022
Very good and engaging story line, finally a good storyline for Vemal and he has done justice to the character. A new fresh perspective for Bala Saravanan. All characters has weight to the story line.

Worth watching
mbsathya-4786514 March 2022
Nice cast, thrilling story, perfect to binge watch...balamurugan acted very well... Few places I felt like a drama, but manageable. Somehow the story concluded to a end. I was worried whether it will continue another season. Could have shortened this to a movie level. Unnecessary scenes and storyline arcs were unanswered. In true life police won't be like this.
